Treating Teen Drug Addiction
Effective drug and alcohol addiction treatment for teens uses a combination of behavioral therapy and family support. As a leading addiction treatment center, our programs help teens address the root causes of substance abuse, including co-occurring mental health challenges.

Signs of Drug Addiction in Teens
If your teen is struggling with drug addiction, they will exhibit rapid changes in their behavior, physical appearance, and emotional state. Behavioral signs often include changes in friends, isolation, decreased academic success, and defiance. Drug addiction also causes physical changes, including weight changes, extreme energy changes, and bloodshot or glazed eyes. Emotionally, teens who are struggling with drug addiction may display mood swings and an increase in agitation.
Every teen will exhibit unique signs and symptoms of drug addiction. As a parent or caregiver, observing your teen’s behavior, emotions, and physical changes can help you gain insight into whether your teen needs a professional treatment plan for drug addiction.

Evidence-Based Therapies
As a leading treatment center in Texas, we offer high-quality treatment focused on effectively helping teens achieve lasting recovery. We rely heavily on behavioral therapies that help teens recognize patterns and build skills that support their health and well-being. It is our philosophy that teens can learn skills that will have a lasting impact on their lives, helping them effectively care for their long-term mental health and well-being.
Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
CBT is a structured therapy program that helps teens discover and adjust patterns and connections among their thoughts, feelings, and actions. Through CBT, teens learn how they can affect their emotional state, thought processes, and behavior.
CBT is highly effective for teens with mental health and substance abuse challenges, and teaches them coping skills that they can use on a daily basis. Additionally, CBT uses current examples, which help teens learn skills through real-life events.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
DBT is a behavioral therapy that is focused on balancing change with acceptance. Through DBT, teens learn distress tolerance, interpersonal communication skills, mindfulness, and emotional regulation. These skills support teens in their lives at school and at home and play an important role in their ability to be successful in relationships.
DBT is highly effective, as teens learn to apply these skills in real-life situations. Through IOP and outpatient therapy, we offer DBT as a way to help teens learn improved ways to cope day-to-day.
Group Therapy
In group therapy, teens develop skills that are important for long-term recovery and well-being. Every group therapy session is unique in terms of skill building, depending on the individuals in the group and the goal for the day.
We offer group therapy as part of our treatment programs, and incorporate it into a teen’s individualized treatment program in a manner that supports their long-term goals.
Support & Education For the Family
We know that teens’ challenges with SUD and mental health disorders impact the entire family, and that family systems impact teens. Therefore, we offer support and education for the entire family.
